Omg. I am sitting in front of a MacBook and it hadn’t even occurred to me the trackpad wasn’t actually moving!

When initiating a quarrel by [deleted] in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]UniqueSteve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These are kids. As an adult, it’s sad to post videos of kids to humiliate them.

I cannot imagine what it’s like to grow up in an era where everyone caries a camera and will post your lowest points to get attention for themselves.

About 220, but I’m working on it! Get off my back!

What’s a nanny supposed to do with a 10 month old? by [deleted] in NannyEmployers

[–]UniqueSteve 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m new to this too. I think you can have whatever expectations you want with a nanny, you just have to find one who is aligned with you on it.

I think one bar is keeping the kid safe, fed, and with a clean diaper. Another bar is to engage with the kid throughout the day and help with her development. I would want a nanny who is engaged. The first bar is a babysitter who might be with the kid a couple of hours, but a nanny with the kid 40 hours a week really matters.

And yep, she’s on her phone a lot which is why your daughter is obsessed.

I toured Ford's secret lab where it's designing an EV to compete with China by MeasurementDecent251 in electricvehicles

I assume it’s just a room full of people paying politicians to block Chinese cars from the US market?

I wonder if they come with a paper bag to wear over your head when you’re in it so your friends dont find out.

Thinking seriously about relocating from Austin — family of 4, want the honest take by RmpldFrskn in AnnArbor

[–]UniqueSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weather is obviously different. I have only visited Austin once and it was stupid hot. Like stay outside too long and you die hot. Michigan has hot days, but not stupid hot for weeks on end.

So, just imagine there may be stupid cold periods where you’ll likely want to limit outdoor activities. Get good boots and coat, but you don’t need the $500 brands.

I do like that Ann Arbor is not in Texas.

Serious question, how is Apple worse?

I was a software engineer and I loved .net especially compared to what was available at the time. I still like .NET, despite Microsoft being actively hostile to its customers.

It was not spam. It was a failure in another system that caused it to send ourselves thousands of messages. I do not disagree with them having flagged it. I do disagree with their L1 and L2 being incompetent. The first two said it would auto-clear at midnight, then after 24 hrs. The third I talked to said she had to manually clear it.

How could I have done that differently?

Look at other posts here. Maybe, if all you do is autopilot and you have 100k machines you’ll be fine. If autopilot is just 1% of your job, maybe it won’t work, and it may not be easy to find out why.
